Burgess Hill Young Carers Celebrate 15 Years of Support and Fun
Burgess Hill Youth marked 15 years of supporting young carers with a special anniversary party on 28 October. The celebration highlighted a decade and a half of fun days, trips, and much-needed breaks for local children caring for family members.
Anniversary Event Highlights
The event, supported by Burgess Hill Town Council, featured party games, cake, and an entertaining science show by “Lava Leigh,” which included giant bubbles and volcanic eruptions.
Ongoing Support Since 2010
Since its launch in 2010, Burgess Hill Youth has provided hundreds of young carers with opportunities to relax and enjoy activities like crafts, pizza making, pantomime trips, and visits to outdoor adventure centers.
Community Involvement
Local businesses and community groups have played a crucial role in sustaining the program. Supporters include:
- The Mustard Seed Café
- Burgess Hill Lions
- Rotary
These groups have helped provide lunches, outings, and financial assistance over the years.

“The sessions offer fun and enjoyable experiences to young people who carry on without complaint or expecting any reward,” said Jackie Cooper, chair of Burgess Hill Youth.
